  1. I'm going to have to agree with Tux. Why should a player on a near dead server, that is dead through no fault of the player, be required to pay money to get to a different server? Why should a player be charged to correct a fault that they had nothing to do with? When the options for those players is to pay money for a transfer just to play the game or quit in disgust which do you think is the most appropriate? And before it even gets mentioned the amount is irrelevant. The principal is what matters.
  2. Concerning non instanced housing. I don't think that would directly work in swtor. The terrain just isn't built for it. A compromise could work though. Instanced neighborhoods with lots for houses. Guilds could form neighborhoods for their members and members could plop down houses.
  3. Why are you trying to flamebait the OP? You disagree with him which is fine but find a better way to express it. You might have an easier time getting your point heard.
  4. Seems pretty on point to me. So much squandered opportunity in so many areas but not the least of which is story. At times I wonder if they should have even bothered with making an MMO and instead had taken that money go continue their single player franchise. They would not have had to saddle themselves with EA, The founders would still be here, and chances are that the single player continuations of KOTOR would have been much better with limited co-op for that multiplayer itch. I wonder how many of Bioware's employees regret the existence of SWTOR.
  5. I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that if it doesn't have the same faces as the standard human, barring very minor tweaking. It isn't going to get done. Not so long as bioware keeps sticking to conventions. Could it be done? Sure. You know I prefer the more alien species. I've simply come to accept that Bioware will always take the least effort options.
  6. They should just let us set the ignore list to operate in reverse. Have an allow list instead of an ignore list.
  7. For what purpose though? If for your own gearing then fine. I agree, but if you are using it to look at someone else's gear why? Does inspecting someone not work? Do you have a need to look at random joe-schmo's equipment? Is what someone is wearing anyone else's business outside of a ops group setting? I'm of the mind that an armory type system would just be more trouble than its worth.
  8. I doubt we'll see nautalon as a playable species given Bioware's stubborn refusal to break convention. Their faces are not human enough to be copy/pastable with minor tweaks or adjustments like the rest of the species in this game.
  9. I'm having a difficult time slogging through mekeb and find the story empire - side to be more than a little boring.
  10. You know as single player - centric as this game is I'm starting to wonder why they even bothered instead of just making a really good Kotor 3, 4, 5, etc with limited multiplayer.
  11. I suspect it's because human nature is to see what is wrong, boneheaded, or lacking in a product before seeing any of the positives. What isn't needed, however, is people being pointlessly aggressive or indignant with those that have differing opinions or outlooks. Still as others have said this is more single player game than MMO and it appears that most view it as such on some level. There really is no community to speak of that I can see. The days of class interdependecies and community building are long gone.
  12. Fine and all until you get other people in the thread talking about crossbar lightsabertype and the like. Planets and species are fine but I don't think tech would work. For that matter I don't think lightsabertype should even be available at this point in continuity. At the very least protosabers that use the battery pack on the hip should still be a common sight.
  13. Planets are a bit different and already a lot older than a piece of tech or a ship.
  14. Not a terrible idea if this were any other game but I think it would make the current engine puke on itself.
  15. To say that something a modder can do using mod tools is easier or is more than the actual devs can accomplish using the same or better tools makes no sense and speaks poorly of the developers.
  16. That is...the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but whatever. You go right on ahead and keep thinking that. I won't have to see it any more.
  17. That's probably the best thing you can do for yourself. Guilds are not all they're cracked up to be.
  18. Oh I understand that. I have no doubt Bioware would turn their noses up at work I do. That's not the point of doing it here though. It's about showing that it isn't as difficult as people believe it is. The hard part for me will be extracting the assets from Bioware's data files. I don't have the tools the developers have at their disposal.
  19. You haven't proven me wrong. You've simply been spouting the same line over and over again. Anyway just because something is yellow text does not make it truth. Be that as it may I never said that there would not be a lot of work involved. Only that it is not as much as they are making it out to be. I don't believe that it requires making a mesh from scratch. I do know what I'm talking about there because I do know what is involved with making 3d art assets. But you know what I'm going to find out for myself how difficult it is for them so this little argument can be put to bed and you can quit with you pointless indignant aggression. I'll just rip the assets from the client and do the work myself.
  20. I've always thought some banter between companions would have been nice. Walking around the ship snarking, arguing, or talking with each other instead of just standing like furniture.
  21. Togruta are great and all but when are going to get species to play that are actually interesting?
  22. By that logic then Trandoshans should be easier then togruta or nautalon. No tentacles or parts to clip through armor. Besides does Damian Schubert even work there anymore?
  23. Currently Keldor, Rodian, Duros, Neimodian, Davaronian, Nautalon, and several others do already use one of the 8 body types. The head mesh and perhaps a hand mesh or some such are different. Working around that is fairly simple and should be obvious to anyone how to. Even Doshans appear to be using body type 3. Wookies do not and should not be playable because of lucasarts restrictions imposed on that species specifically. The others have no such restrictions with the exception of Yoda's species not being allowed to be expanded on in any way shape or form. It's already been established that many if not all can speak basic so...what is the issue exactly?
  24. Hrm....no. Stinks too much like trying to use armory. As long as you could only see your own character then fine. If not then no way.
